I'm not going to do a full review on this book but I will state this book is a must read for anyone in school, planning to go to school, or seeking knowledge of self. This is a novel for any race or gender, and puts into prospective of what education can help achieve. Douglass basically breaks describes freedom and knowledge parallel with one another. Granted in life we all choose different paths, some of us go to college, the service, the work force or whatever; never let your decisions stop you from educating yourself.PURCHASE HERE

Just tweeted a little while ago by @2kgames, Duke Nukem Forever will be released this May 3rd after a 12 year hiatus. This has made my Friday, DNF has a confirmed street date and proof Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is completed maybe Brink will get a confirmed date any day now.

For all the stupid shit for a person to do, this has to be the dumbest for this year so far. GameStop thefts are nothing out of the ordinary. I've been tempted to break into my local that get the backdated pre-order bonuses they display behind the counter, but aren't giving away. Still, this guy had the right idea -- break into a different place, and then tunnel in through the wall.

33-year-old Steven Paul Archer robbed a store in Johnson City, Tennessee by first entering a vacant building next door and then burrowing through like Mr. Driller's nefarious twin brother. Perhaps he thought it wasn't breaking-and-entering if you came in through the wall of a place nobody owned. He was kind of wrong.

He was arrested on January 13 in the nearby town of Chuckey, with the total value of his stolen goods and cash estimated at almost $6,000.

It is not yet known if Archer perpetrated this act with the help of Johnny 5. That last sentence was a particularly specific cultural reference based on one of the least memorable moments of a film that even I barely remember. Posted Via Dtoid

Back in the day when the Syfy Channel was the Scifi Channel, the programming was completely different. Once a week there was marathons of the X-files and every Saturday morning their was anime. The good ole days.

Granted I am a Microsoft fanboy, this is dope none the less. All PS3 heads snatch up the David Banner & 9th Wonder Death of a Popstar theme. If you don't have the album, get it NOW and support good hip hop.CLICK HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONSSpotted at AHH

The Queensland Government has launched an appeal to help fellow Queenslanders affected by the recent floods. Many communities have been devastated. Some families have lost everything. You can help make a difference by donating to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal.

At this time, the Queensland Government is inviting financial donations only. Unfortunately this appeal cannot accept donations of goods or services.CLICK HERE TO DONATE
